Rejoice (Redemption #4)
Didn't know it was part a series so therefore some characters were confusing in the storyline. Wasn't the best book, very religious. It was Ok. Don't know if I'm interested in the rest of this series.
I'm having a love/hate relationship with this series. I've decided it's kind of like a soap opera. I can't help caring about the characters and wondering what's going to happen next. It's not wonderful writing, it's sometimes downright cheesy, and I even skim read a page here and there, but yet I cried my eyes out when the precious little three-year-old was found at the bottom of the pool and the battle for her life began. It's escapist fiction, and I'll be reading the last book in the series to
Great writer in terms of characterization, dialogue, mood, etc except for the tendency to throw in events just for melodramatic effect. This series has so much that other than books #2 & #5, I'm not planning on rereading any. It's like every possible bad thing has to happen to this one family.Also with the jumping around between different characters, the main plot line suffered. You didn't really get a chance to feel about what was happening before you jumped somewhere else. It undercut the
Book #4 in the series focuses mainly on the oldest child, Brooke and her family. The other sibling's story lines continue side by side. I felt as though some plot lines concluded a bit quickly, while some others are being drawn out for quite a while. On the whole, I have enjoyed this series. A regular family facing what could be devatating problems and trials, and learning to rely on their faith to pull them through. My favorite quote from this book: "...The 23rd Psalm says he'll walk with us
I'm really enjoying this series and becoming quit vested in the Baxter family. I do need to take a break from these books from time to time though. This family goes through so much, it is just hard to absorb at times. I love the way they lean on Christ during each crisis and I love the bonds each member has with the others. The family dynamics are very believable.
